Why partner with us?

We’re an innovative organisation with big ambitions

We may be small but our goals are not. Since 2009, Student Minds has grown from a student- led project into a national movement with student groups across the country, staff training programmes and policy influence. We now want to take Student Minds to the next level. We’ve achieved a lot as a small charity on a modest budget but we need your support in order to ensure that all students have accessible opportunities to build their wellbeing, develop the skills to make change, and access appropriate support if they need it

We work with over 100 universities across the country. By supporting Student Minds there is potential for significant brand exposure among the future workers: lawyers, accountants, doctors and leaders, of the UK.
